Adeline has become more independent and bold at this point, in my point of view. After running away with peter this told me that she was willing to push the limits of the steriotypical role of a woman of her time. I believe by the end of the novel, Adeline gains affluence and tranforms from her role as the damsel in distress. She makes this obvious with her attempt to save Theodore, who had previously attempted to save her, from his death sentence. Overall I think this was a great book, and that Ann Radcliffe did a great job of portraying Adeline's transformation as unique, considering she gave off a fairly quiet, reclusive impression.
